Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Infiltration and stealth are not what Wendlow is good at.

At the same time, wanting to sneak in front of the elves is a bit too arrogant and overconfident.

Apart from this, Windlow only had one last option, which was to cross the mountains.

This is the purpose of the fortress. Just build a fortress at the pass to completely isolate the two places.

Although the rolling hills can accommodate a single person, they cannot support the passage of a large army.

Even when a single person chooses to trek the mountains, bypassing the fortress, the challenges are enormous.

The mountains that separate Ulthuan into Inner and Outer Rings are not easy to cross.

Not to mention the mountains without any roads, and the complete lack of supplies in the mountains, as well as the wild beasts in the mountains.

All these difficulties made Wendlow feel helpless.

But what else could they do? If they couldn't get through the pass, they could only cross the mountains.

Do what you say and start preparing now.

In the mountains and forests, supplies need to be guaranteed.

Fortunately, the forests of the Kingdom of Charis are not the forests within the Empire. There are no beastmen here, and they are undeveloped and rich in resources.

Harvest fresh grass, dry it in the sun, and take it with you as food for your unicorn.

There are many wild fruits in the forest, and unicorns can easily judge which ones are edible and which ones are not.

Collect all the edible fruits and wild vegetables, dehydrate them and dry them into dehydrated fruits and dehydrated vegetables. You can carry a lot of them with the help of a backpack.

There is no shortage of water in the mountains, so you only need to prepare a large bottle.

At the same time, prepare the direction and tie the leg guards on your legs, and you can set off immediately.

Entering the mountains, I had a strange feeling.

It's very different from the time we went to the Dwarf Mountains.

The elves don't care about the mountains at all. Their forests are almost undeveloped, with weeds and various shrubs completely blocking the way forward.

You have to know that when you went to the dwarven mountains, not to mention the main roads, at least every mountain range had a road built by the dwarves leading directly to the dwarf fortress on the top of the mountain.

After walking a few miles, you will see a dwarf sign to ensure that you will not get lost in the mountains.

As for the mountains of the elves, we can only say that the nature protection here is very good. Every step is to open up new land and there are no ready-made roads.

Even if one wants to cross such a mountain alone, it will take at least three months.

Finally, after a day of hard work, Windlow successfully trudged a few hundred meters and stopped by a stream to prepare for camping.

Use the cloth as the tent roof, boil a kettle of hot water, and light a campfire to roast the fresh fruits and vegetables you find during the day.

Stew a pot of soup with salt and add some meat, and a hearty dinner is ready.

Only then did the unicorn remember why he chose to act with Windlow.

This merchant from the empire has considerable experience in survival in the wild. He can not only provide stable food and shelter, but also obtain salt and various minerals.

The man and the unicorn sat by the campfire, and after having dinner and washing up, they were almost ready for bed.

Although the light of the fire can drive away wild beasts in the dark, there is no guarantee that there will be other terrifying creatures here.

In addition, Windlow is already accustomed to dealing with the endless stream of beastmen in the Imperial Forest, so traps and defensive facilities are of course essential options.

He protected his back, held the weapon against his chest, did not take off his steam-powered armor, and then fell into a light sleep.

The next morning, he completely extinguished the campfire, which was left with only a few sparks, and then restored everything to its original state, erasing all traces of his existence, and then continued to walk deeper into the mountains.

After two weeks of trekking, Windlow finally reached the highest point of the mountain range, and could overlook the inner circle of Ulthuan.

You can also see the constantly rotating whirlpool, as well as the scattered elf villages and cities located on the plains.

“It’s easier to go up the mountain than to go down.”

After calming down the somewhat agitated unicorn, Windlow knew that the real test had just begun.

For this undeveloped mountain range, going down the mountain is much more difficult than going up the mountain.

The first thing is to control your speed and balance when going downhill, which puts a greater impact on your knees and legs, making them more susceptible to injury and fatigue.

Climbing the mountain only makes you physically tired, and you can recover after a night's rest.

What’s more important is that it is easier to get lost going down the mountain than going up the mountain.

Almost all climbers and caravans who got lost and died in the mountains encountered an accident while descending the mountain.

Windlow must be best prepared to deal with a variety of terrible situations.

"be lost."

After only one day's walking, Windlow was completely lost in the mountains and forests.

Because the vegetation was too dense, I couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and based on the sun, I could only roughly determine the north and south directions.

He originally wanted to follow the flow of the water all the way down, but the stream suddenly poured down from a cliff, but Windlow couldn't just jump down.

Going around this cliff not only took a lot of time, but also completely destroyed the previous route planning.

You can only move forward, step by step, and use a lot of energy to explore whether the road ahead is absolutely safe. You get tired very quickly.

Even before it was completely dark, the man and the unicorn, two guys with plenty of energy, were facing exhaustion.

But fortunately, the place where we were happened to be a small plain, about ten square meters in size, where we could set up camp and set up a boiler.

And there is good news and bad news, footprints were found here.

If it is a friendly woodcutter, then they will be able to follow him down the mountain easily. However, if it is an unfriendly fugitive, then they will be easily targeted.

But what else can we do? If we are running out of energy, we can only stay here. If we don't conserve our energy, running around like a headless fly will be even more dangerous.

Sure enough, just as Windlow had judged, when he built a campfire and prepared to cook dinner, a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Those blood-red eyes were staring motionlessly in the darkness, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body even made Windlow, who was warming himself by the fire, feel a chill on his back.

But when I looked behind me, I didn't see anything.

However, this feeling was not an illusion. The unicorn also realized that he was being targeted by someone with ill intentions.

The man and the unicorn just looked at each other and knew the plan for tonight. They had to keep watch all night.

Through the method of rock-paper-scissors, Windlow successfully played a paper and won the unicorn.

Tonight, he would guard the first half of the night, while the unicorn would guard the more dangerous second half of the night.
